models of the causes of civil violence. Information was gathered on 86
countries or polities worldwide and indices were constructed to meet

This data collection contains the principal indicators of
independent variables developed by Ted Robert Gurr for use in testing
models of the causes of civil violence. Information was gathered on 86
countries or polities worldwide and indices were constructed to meet
the theoretical requirements of the investigators' research on
instances of internal conflict as captured in CIVIL STRIFE EVENTS,
1955-1970 (ICPSR 7531). General categories of independent variables
included in the present study are basic social properties, social
processes, economic processes, social rigidities, coercive
interventions, regime coercion, conflict traditions, regime
characteristics, and dissident group characteristics. Aggregate
measures of the dependent variables (internal conflicts) are provided
in CIVIL STRIFE CONFLICT MAGNITUDES, 1955-1970 (ICPSR 7485).
